Clause  105,  page  50,  line  14,  leave out ‘provisions of or made under a local Act’

Member’s explanatory statement

 

This amendment extends the power to amend legislation in Clause 105(6)(b) to any statutory

 

provision of local application, rather than just local Acts. This will mean that an order granting

 

development consent may amend an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992.

John Healey

 

434

 

Page  58,  line  7,  leave out Clause 119.

 

Member’s explanatory statement

 

This clause is to be removed so that a development consent order can grant consent for the

not just ones involving the underground storage of gas.

 


 

John Healey

 

435

 

Clause  123,  page  58,  line  37,  at end insert—

such other period (whether longer or shorter than that prescribed) as is

 

specified in the order.

under the order ceases to have effect.’.

The effect of this amendment is that authority to compulsorily purchase land under an order

 

granting development consent will cease to have effect if steps of a prescribed description are not

 

taken within the required time.

Robert Neill
